Hop on the Bus, Gus

In 1927, a fleet of cars was donated to drive paying day students (Day Hops) to and from school. By the mid-1930s, the school had its own fleet with students often serving as the drivers. Today, McDonogh’s fleet of 20 yellow buses, driven by professionals who gather students from four counties and Baltimore City, is one of the largest privately operated bus fleets in the mid-Atlantic. One thing about the school bus has remained the same over time: kids get a kick out of waving from the windows, especially on the last day of classes.
